Residents of West Kensington and Gibbs Green Estates have drawn a petition demanding that Hammersmith and Fulham Council reveals its discussions about redevelopment.

Residents of West Kensington and Gibbs Green Estates have drawn a petition demanding that Hammersmith and Fulham Council reveals its discussions about redevelopment.

It was signed by almost every resident who attended two meetings held by a PR company on behalf of H&F this month to discuss the estates' future.

H&F wants to see if any future redevelopment of Earl's Court may allow for a transformation of the housing developments, off North End Road.

The document was drawn up by Shepherd's Bush MP Andrew Slaughter, who believes the estates - which contain 800 homes - may be bulldozed.

He said: "I went to the meetings and was told total demolition was an option."

The petition demands that no development takes place without the agreement of residents, there will be no reduction in social rented housing, no homeowners or tenants will be deprived of their home and there is 'full disclosure' of negotiations with developers

Leaseholder Neil Hall, from Gibbs Green, who has signed the document, said: "Personally, I do not want to leave because it is my home and I am happy there. There is no way you could buy a flat in the same area for the amount I paid for it. I do not want to go, full stop."

A council spokesman denied there were any specific plans or proposals for the estates.

He added: "Hammersmith & Fulham Council, Transport for London and the owner of Earl's Court - Capital and Counties - are working on the long-term vision for the area.

"As part of this H&F Council wants to ensure that local residents, particularly people living on the West Kensington and Gibbs Green estates, benefit from the potential redevelopment of Earl's Court in 2012 and beyond.

"Should plans come forward, we pledge that everyone will be provided with a home that meets their needs, leaseholder investments will be protected and that people will have the chance to be involved fully as plans and ideas take shape."

But Mr Slaughter says leaseholders' homes on the West Kensington estates will be blighted. He added: "If you want to sell one of these flats you would now have to declare the council may have plans to knock it down.

"I asked at the meetings whether tenants would be re-housed in the immediate area and they said they could not guarantee that."

He added: "I was told tenants would be moved to council or housing association properties, but there are not that many vacant homes of that description in the whole borough."
